This started interesting and then just dragged on and on. The writing style took some getting used to. The author uses words and phrases from the language of the region/country she is writing about which is always explained but breaks up the flow. 

I found myself forcing my way through to the end. I think I grew tired of how long winded her travels in each region were. This could be me but even when I heard something interesting, I’ve either forgotten it already or will very soon. 

Kudos out to the narrator of the audiobook for reading these long ass sentences and all these languages. I’d have been fighting for my life in the studio!
